Beit known [that I, ISAAC Nenn, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at New York, in

i `the county of New York and State of New 5 York, have invented certain new and useful l 1` others skilled in the art to which it appertains -ro to make and use the same, reference being had i to the accompanying drawings, and to `letters f ortgures of reference `marked thereon. which `form a part of this specification. y y `Figure `l of` thedrawingsis arepresentation of this invention, and is a perspective view. d Fig.` 2 is a front view of` the back portion of n the shield. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the iront portion of tlie'shield. f Fig. L isa top View of `the spring-jaws. Fig. 5 is a section, and Fig. Gis a perspective view, of the same.` .l `This invention has relation to neckscarfs: i. audit consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, as will be hereinafter `fully described, inthe claims appended. d Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a designates the "rear or base portion of the shield ofthe neekscarf, which is of jilannel stiffeningorfother suitable textile fab- `ric,instead of thepasteboard heretofore employed. Two pairs of clamping springjaws or clampsof metal` are joined attheir inner fyends by a rivet or` otherwise, one being in nearly a horizontal position out-to about the edge of the back portion of the shield, and the otherarm, b,extendingupwardly atan angle `of about fortyiive degrees fromthe arm Z1.

` "The arms b .bi of the spring-jaws are perforated "ateo near `their edges,` and are stitchedto `the `front of the back portion, a, of the shield, as

springjaws extendlalong the shield d until d near the edge on onesideand near to the upd, `per corner at the oplaosites'idewhere they are `bent forward awayfroni the `facebf the portion a.` These inclinedportionse c of the arms I) b are `provided each with a rectangular slot,

` f, and their extremes are curvedrearwardly i at g, and are serrated. The springarins hr h are secured to the larms blib', and are bent` or inclined outwardly or forward therefromfor a and particularly pointed zout shown in the drawings. The arms b b of the` ISAAC Nona, `or ivnwionk, NJY;

in size, as at z', bent rearwardly, and passed `through the rectangular slots f. These arms 7L and l1. are slitted for a portion of their length on their under side, as shown at t in Fig. 5to

form a spring for the engagement of the serrated jaws. rlhe reduced ends of these arms are provided with short forwardly-curved serrated plates c, which in their normal positions engage the serrations of the plates opposite them.- The spring-jaws near the corner of the shieldare to clamp and hold the d endl of the neck-strap, so that 'it need not be stitched in place. `The spring-jaws near t-he opposite lower edge are to receive and hold the neckband after it has been passed around the neck of the wearer. The iront portion, Z, of the shield is alsoof iiannel or other suitable fabric,

`instead of pasteboard. To this portion is stitched the material that forms the front of my flat neckscarf. The central or middle strip, an', is first stitched in place, and is of a different color from the body of the front, and with the aid of the pointed piece a meeting across the tapering middle piece a contrast of color isproduced, which imparts a very nice appearance. The shield portion Z is stitched to the portion a. in such a manner that the side edges at the spring-jaws will be left open for the introduction of the neck-strap to the jaws, which is accomplished by pressing the springj aws below theslots between the thumb and iinger, and entering the neck-strap from the side, instead of passing it down through the shield, as was formerly practiced. This saves the steel point for the neck-strap, and the silk that covers it does away with the pasteboard, and also with thefpin that was employedto hold the neck-strap in. place around the neck, and prevents it injuring the makers orusers fingers. The springjaws rlhe eyelet for the collar-button depends from an elastic secured between theshield portions aand l, and is ofthe ordinary form.

\ and their several arms holdthe shield in shape.

"In thisconstruction there is a great deal of labor saved by making the cent-ral stripaportienof the scarf, the center piece heretofore used requiring eXtra labor and eXtra material-vi z., silk, iiannel, and lining*and also the crossing of thepoint-pieces.

roo p Isame, the said arms having serrated clamping ends to receive the neekband and the shield secured to the tie, substantially as specified.

2. The spring-arms consisting of the parts l) andb, having a rectangular slot, j', the arms 7L and h; having a reduced portion, vi, to pass through the said slots, and a slitted bent portion, t, to form a spring for the same, both arms having bent serrated clamping ends, and adapted to be secured together and to the shield of a tie, substantially as and i'or the purposes speeilied.

In aneckscarf, the front portion con'- structed with its middle portion of a different color from the body, and having the pointpieces meeting over themiddle strip, substantially as speciied. Y

4. In a neckscarf, the combination, with the shield a, of the sprngljaws consisting of the horizontal arm h and the angular arm 717, connected together, and each having a bent slotted and serrated portion, and the reduced portion i, passing through the slots, and provided with serrated plates at their ends, substantially as specied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
